8-bit Profile Card
The `profile-card` registry item installs 8-bit-styled Card, Button, Avatar, and Badge building blocks; it does not export a dedicated `ProfileCard` component. Compose those primitives to create profile cards with a pixel-art frame, retro typography, and matching actions.

Installed with shadcn add · 1 workaround · theme from the install docs
- applied the registry's theme (tokens, fonts and CSS from the registry preview settings)
Installation
pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @8bitcn/profile-card
Requires @8bitcn in the registries of your components.json (shadcn adds official directory namespaces automatically).
Usage
usage.tsx
import { Avatar, AvatarFallback, AvatarImage } from "@/components/ui/8bit/avatar";import { Badge } from "@/components/ui/8bit/badge";import { Button } from "@/components/ui/8bit/button";import { Card, CardContent, CardHeader, CardTitle } from "@/components/ui/8bit/card";export function ProfileCard() { return ( <Card className="max-w-sm"> <CardHeader> <CardTitle>Pixel Pioneer</CardTitle> </CardHeader> <CardContent className="flex items-center gap-4"> <Avatar> <AvatarImage src="/avatars/pioneer.png" alt="Pixel Pioneer" /> <AvatarFallback>PP</AvatarFallback> </Avatar> <div> <Badge>Creator</Badge> <p>Building worlds one pixel at a time.</p> <Button size="sm">View profile</Button> </div> </CardContent> </Card> );}- To build a retro-styled user, creator, or team-member profile panel.
- When an interface uses pixel-art or 8-bit visual language and needs consistent cards, avatars, badges, and actions.
- When you want to compose a profile layout from familiar card primitives rather than use a dedicated profile-card API.
Examples
Creator profile
Show an avatar, creator badge, short bio, and profile action.
creator-profile.tsx
import { Avatar, AvatarFallback, AvatarImage } from "@/components/ui/8bit/avatar";import { Badge } from "@/components/ui/8bit/badge";import { Button } from "@/components/ui/8bit/button";import { Card, CardContent, CardHeader, CardTitle } from "@/components/ui/8bit/card";export function CreatorProfile() { return ( <Card className="max-w-sm"> <CardHeader><CardTitle>Pixel Pioneer</CardTitle></CardHeader> <CardContent className="flex items-center gap-4"> <Avatar><AvatarImage src="/avatars/pioneer.png" alt="Pixel Pioneer" /><AvatarFallback>PP</AvatarFallback></Avatar> <div><Badge>Creator</Badge><p>Building worlds one pixel at a time.</p><Button size="sm">View profile</Button></div> </CardContent> </Card> );}Team member
Use the normal font option for denser profile information while retaining the pixel card treatment.
team-member.tsx
import { Avatar, AvatarFallback } from "@/components/ui/8bit/avatar";import { Badge } from "@/components/ui/8bit/badge";import { Card, CardContent, CardHeader, CardTitle } from "@/components/ui/8bit/card";export function TeamMember() { return ( <Card font="normal" className="max-w-sm"> <CardHeader font="normal"><CardTitle font="normal">Riley Chen</CardTitle></CardHeader> <CardContent font="normal" className="flex items-center gap-3"> <Avatar font="normal" variant="default"><AvatarFallback>RC</AvatarFallback></Avatar> <div><p>Frontend engineer</p><Badge font="normal" variant="secondary">Engineering</Badge></div> </CardContent> </Card> );}API reference
PropTypeDefaultDescription
Card, CardHeader, CardTitle, CardDescription, CardAction, CardContent, CardFooterReact.ComponentProps<"div"> plus `font?: "normal" | "retro"` and `asChild?: boolean`—The exported card primitives accept div attributes and children. `font` controls retro typography; when omitted, the implementation applies the retro class. `CardContent` also adds `flex-1`. `asChild` is declared by the source type and forwarded, but the Card wrapper does not implement slot rendering.
ButtonButtonHTMLAttributes<HTMLButtonElement> plus `font?: "normal" | "retro"`, `variant?: "default" | "destructive" | "outline" | "secondary" | "ghost" | "link"`, `size?: "default" | "sm" | "lg" | "icon"`, `asChild?: boolean`, and `ref?: Ref<HTMLButtonElement>`—Wraps the shadcn Button with 8-bit styling and decorative borders. `asChild` renders its child through Radix Slot; `font` defaults visually to retro when omitted. The underlying shadcn Button supplies the defaults for `variant` and `size`.
AvatarReact.ComponentPropsWithoutRef<typeof AvatarPrimitive.Root> plus `font?: "normal" | "retro"` and `variant?: "default" | "retro" | "pixel"`—Radix Avatar root with 8-bit framing. The implementation defaults `variant` to `pixel`; the pixel variant uses a circular segmented frame, while the other variants use a square-edged frame.
AvatarImageReact.ComponentPropsWithoutRef<typeof AvatarPrimitive.Image> plus `font?: "normal" | "retro"` and `variant?: "default" | "retro" | "pixel"`—Radix Avatar image with an optional font prop. The declared `variant` prop is forwarded with the remaining props; it does not change image styling in this wrapper.
AvatarFallbackReact.ComponentPropsWithoutRef<typeof AvatarPrimitive.Fallback>—Radix Avatar fallback content, typically initials or another accessible substitute when the image is unavailable.
BadgeReact.ButtonHTMLAttributes<HTMLButtonElement> plus `font?: "normal" | "retro"`, `variant?: "default" | "destructive" | "outline" | "secondary"`, and `asChild?: boolean`—Renders a pixel-accented shadcn Badge. The source declares button attributes and `asChild`, but the wrapper renders a div container and does not implement `asChild` behavior.
Accessibility
- Provide meaningful `alt` text for informative avatar images; use an empty alt value for purely decorative images.
- Include `AvatarFallback` content so users have a useful alternative when an image does not load.
- Use `CardTitle` for the profile’s heading and keep card content in a logical reading order; the card primitives do not add heading or landmark semantics automatically.
- Give buttons action-oriented labels that make sense out of context. Decorative button details are marked `aria-hidden` in the source.
- The badge wrapper does not provide a dedicated semantic role for status; ensure its text communicates the status without relying on color alone.
